Don't we ALL wish they get back together?!?!?! 😈
 
 


As Alison Holker worded so succinctly, 
RIP 87 year old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

   
I'm including comments RBG's admirers (that I ALSO admire 😉) who word my thoughts and respects more eloquently:  

shondaland: "To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you.  That's what I think a meaningful life is.  One lives not just for oneself, but for one's community." Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  We will keep fighting.

The justice dictated a statement to her granddaughter in the days before her death, NPR reported. Ginsburg said: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” - WORD and total respect. 

"With an incomparable and indelible legacy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will forever be known as a woman of brilliance, a Justice of courage, and a human of deep conviction. She has been a true inspiration to me since I was a girl. Honour her, remember her, act for her." --Duchess Meghan

"For so many of us, Justice Ginsburg was a real-life superhero: a beacon of hope, a warrior for justice, a robed crusader who saved the day time and again. Playing her on 'SNL' was a profound joy because I could always feel the overwhelming love and gratitude that the audience had for her. It was one of the great honors of my life to meet Justice Ginsburg, to shake her hand, and to thank her for her lifetime of service to this country." -- Kate McKinnon, who played RBG on "Saturday Night Live"

"I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a true champion of gender equality and was a strong woman for me and all the little girls of the world to look up to. Throughout my life, I've been fortunate to meet so many amazing people … but there's those select few where there's an instinct inside you that tells you to pay close attention. And I did. When I met her I was hanging on to her every word… I will always remember what she said to us the day we met her: 'Be the best you.' It was simple yet profound. Thank you RBG for fighting all these years. We will honor you by continuing to fight for equality, empathy and justice for all. 💔 #RIPRBG ✨❤️✨" --Jennifer Lopez

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That's how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement [here]." --former President Barack Obama

"Rest in peace Ruth Bader Ginsburg - a true legend, an iconoclast, a glass ceiling breaker, and a feminist icon. She changed the world in so many incredible ways. Prayers, love and strength to her family during this dark time. I hope you have fun with Antonin Scalia in heaven... One of the most beautiful and interesting modern public friendships was that between Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her ideological opposite Antonin Scalia. They both loved opera, law and the U.S.A. I always loved their relationship. Let this part of their legacy be an example to us all" --Meghan McCain

"We have lost one of the most extraordinary Justices ever to serve on the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life and landmark opinions moved us closer to a more perfect union. And her powerful dissents reminded us that we walk away from our Constitution's promise at our peril." --former President Bill Clinton, who nominated RBG to the Supreme Court in 1993

"Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG." --former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

"Laura and I join our fellow Americans in mourning the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She dedicated many of her 87 remarkable years to the pursuit of justice and equality, and she inspired more than one generation of women and girls. Justice Ginsburg loved our country and the law. Laura and I are fortunate to have known this smart and humorous trailblazer, and we send our condolences to the Ginsburg family." --former President George W. Bush

"Rosalynn and I are saddened by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A powerful legal mind and a staunch advocate for gender equality, she has been a beacon of justice during her long and remarkable career. I was proud to have appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980. We join countless Americans in mourning the loss of a truly great woman. We will keep her family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time." --former President Jimmy Carter

"NY's heart breaks with the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. During her extraordinary career, this Brooklyn native broke barriers & the letters RBG took on new meaning -- as battle cry & inspiration. Her legal mind & dedication to justice leave an indelible mark on America." --Andrew Cuomo

"Tonight, the flags are flying at half staff over the Capitol to honor the patriotism of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Every woman and girl, and therefore every family, in America has benefitted from her brilliance." --Nancy Pelosi

"The passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a tremendous loss to our country. She was an extraordinary champion of justice and equal rights, and will be remembered as one of the great justices in modern American history." --Bernie Sanders

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a titan of justice. Her jurisprudence expanded the rights of all Americans, shaping our lives for the better. And her example now shines within the history of our country, there to inspire generations." --Pete Buttigieg

"I am so, so saddened by the news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed. Justice Ginsburg was a trailblazer and an extraordinary jurist who devoted her life to advancing the causes of equality and justice. We are in her debt. May her memory be a blessing to us all." --Cory Booker

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A model for fairness, rational thought, and progress. She will be missed more than we can yet imagine." --Seth MacFarlane

"This is devastating, an incalculable loss. We owe so much to RBG. Rest in Power Ruth Bader Ginsburg. #RIPRBG" --Megan Rapinoe

"nooooooooooooo #rbg onward in her name ... #RBGForever" --Rosie O'Donnell

"No matter where we go from here, this is a remarkably selfless statement to make on your deathbed: 'My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.' RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg." --Kumail Nanjiani

"The way to honor her life and her legacy is to respect her dying wish, which was to ask that her seat not be filled until a new president is sworn in. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, for all you have given us all these decades, I stand ready to fight for your final request." --George Takei

"My friends, the great 'Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the US Supreme Court and its most determined advocate for gender equality, has died at the age of 87. She had endured multiple bouts of cancer before succumbing to the disease.' There are no words." --Bette Midler

"Rest In Peace And Power. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the demure firebrand who in her 80s became a legal, cultural, and feminist icon has died from complications from cancer. Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: 'My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.'  Architect of the legal fight for women's rights in the 1970s, Ginsburg subsequently served 27 years on the nation's highest court, becoming its most prominent member. Her death will inevitably set in motion what promises to be a nasty and tumultuous political battle over who will succeed her, and it thrusts the Supreme Court vacancy into the spotlight of the presidential campaign." --Zoe Saldana

"#rbg #RuthBaderGinsburg Rest with the best! But we must fight as she fought till the bitter end no matter what we cannot and must not succumb to cynicism!!!" --John Leguizamo

"We lost a hero today. We must carry her memory and purpose. Justice for all." --Bill Nye

I joined Fayewood in signing up for the CIBC Run for the Cure that taking place on Sunday October 4th. Similar to the Mon Sheong Fun Run & Walk, participants fill in their own time and fundraise on their own.  I've included my fundraising information (https://support.cancer.ca/site/TR/RunfortheCure/RFTC_NW_odd_?px=13524152&pg=personal&fr_id=27307) and the extra steps I put in after meeting up with Faye for an outdoor socially distant evening walk this evening.

  


After returning home, I'm catching the TIFF Tribute Awards #TIFF20 with appearances by Ava DuVernay, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Shawn Mendes, Olivia Colman, Colin Farrell, Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet

Went to see Karen at Art Runway, Pacific Mall for a hair cut and bang trim yesterday!  
      
Afterwards in the evening, caught up with my Abbeyite girlfriend's for a zoom catch up! I love that we can all still make this work even though the group of us are split between two continents! Mind you, distance makes the heart super fond of each other.  ðŸ˜‰


Because it was forecast to rain this morning, I took the opportunity to 'sleep-in' 👻...well, ok NOT REALLY but no matter...took this time to catch the movie,  Just Mercy with Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Lawson amongst the main draws (besides the storyline) that drew me in...I was very glad to have caught it!

As the day cleared up in the early arvo, I decided to go for my walk around 1pm...which retrospectively wasn't the smartest idea as with the sun fully out, was sweltering out (something I normally bypass when I walk as the sun is coming up...so that the heat hasn't really hit yet, but details...).  HOWEVER, instead of heading to the park in this said sun-filled area, I headed down a sheltered laneway into a street with townhouses, which was a perfect walkway for me as the townhouses were tall enough to give me much needed shade! 

After going to visit Ames and Mr. Trudeau for sushi dinner (yaaasss!!!), am spending the rest of the evening watching some episodes of  Songland - with Luis Fonsi and H.E.R. as well as catching The Masked Singer - Special Season Four Sneak Peek as well as hopefully starting 'Why Women Kill' series (that began last week).

Wow, this week's gone by like a blur!!!

Last Friday, had a wonderful and much needed 2 hour WhatsApp convo with bestie, Shelley! The only downside was that the chat went by sooooooo fast....WHHHHHHHAAAT?!?!?!?!!!

The rest of the weekend was successfully occupied with television watching:

  •  The Nick Cordero Memorial Tribute - 'Live Your Life' - Nick Cordero by Lenii
  • The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock
  • The Intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro
  • Biography the 9 Lives of Ozzy Osbourne
  • A&E Biography: I want my MTV - where the special documentary charted the rise of the cultural phenomenom that define's my generation. What started as playful music video lineups (that in full disclosure, I watched while running on my treadmill!), evolved to reflect the North American youth culture (pointedly the American youth culture). It's craycray how MTV pushed the boundaries of art, sex, gender and race while cementing its celebrity image and at the forefront exploring new technologies!  Definitely a throwback with the revision of DJ's and MTV in general!!!

Name day drama

 


After having health drama arising beginning Sunday arvo that had been continuously on and off the following two days afterward, I made the executive decision to check into the emerg department to find out the cause as a present to myself...apparently I must be weary of sticky gallstones in the gallbladder...yay?


And this is the conclusion of my eventful day that caused me so much distress YET it's better to know...then NOT.

Update: received this in the mail two weeks later...the positive outlook is that this was my body’s way to make me feel like it’s only UP now!!!

This one hits close to home...TRIBUTE TO A KING August 28, 2020 RIP Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020)

His team has revealed that 'Black Panther', '21 Bridges', 'Avengers End Game', 'Marshall' and 'Da 5 Bloods' were all filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. Even though he will be most popularly remembered for his role as a star of Marvel's Black Panther, a film seen as a cultural milestone due to its predominantly black cast director, I am including a list of quotes from many people's lives of the current generation of stars and very known people that Chadwick Boseman has touched.  Something that I strive to leave as an ever-lasting presence:
  • ‘I remember being struck by his quiet, powerful presence...there was a higher frequency that he seemed to operate from...Chadwick was a man who made the most of his time, and somehow managed to take his time.’ - Lupita Nyong’o
  • 'What a gentle gifted SOUL. Showing us all that Greatness in between surgeries and chemo. The courage, the strength, the Power it takes to do that.  This is what Dignity looks like.' - Oprah Winfrey
  • 'Chadwick Boseman was as compelling, powerful and truthful as the characters he chose to play. His intelligence, personal dignity and deep commitment inspired his colleagues and elevated the stories he told. He is as much a hero as any he played. - Harrison Ford'
  • 'I've been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I've been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement...every hug...everything. I wish we had more time. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and CREATE LEGACY. And whether you’ve known it or not...I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to give you your flowers while you were here. The thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family, your friends, your craft, your spirit...One of the last times we spoke, you said WE WERE FOREVER LINKED, and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. Is this your king!? Yes. he. is! Rest in Power Brother.’ - Michael B. Jordan 
  • 'He made a decision to put his purpose in front of the suffering and pain. He didn't take us to a pity party - he put us in his purpose party.' - Stevie Wonder
  • ‘I did not know that he was going through treatment, chemotherapy, never complained. He was there every single minute.’ - Spike Lee
  • I’m 'Press on with pride.  Press on with purpose' - Chadwick Boseman. This was hard to hear about.  Hard to imagine the quiet pain and struggle you went thru all these years, yet still shined your powerful light and talents to inspire the world.  Especially, our kids who finally saw themselves as a superhero -- because of you.  Rest in power, brother.  My love and strength to your family.  You will always press on with pride and purpose.' - Dwayne Johnson
  • 'Please Jesus please...I know you know what's best...but at this moment our hearts are writhing with so much pain...so to lose this beautiful black king renders me weak...please watch over his family and loved ones...@chadwickboseman you have touched the lives of all of us...u will forever be remembered in the highest regard...REST IN POWER! our black king! Our black panther! ❤❤❤ - Jamie Foxx
  • 'This is such devastating news. We're praying for his family.  The world has lost an immeasurable talent and a great person.' - Chris Pratt
  • ‘Chadwick told the world stories at a time when we needed them most and made sacrifices to do so. If he had to leave us, which is unfair, unfathomable and crushing - he did so with a blaze of meaning fit for a King.’ - Kevin Feige
  •  ‘A warrior of light til the very end. A true king.  I am without words. May he rise in power.' - Kerry Washington
  • 'I'm so shocked and heartbroken about Chadwick.  He was such a bright light, such a gifted performer.  He brought grace, elegance and power to everything he did.  He always seemed to carry our ancestors with him.  And now he joins them far too soon.' - John Legend
  • 'Chadwick was just an artist. That's just who he was. I don't know that people understand the absolute impact of that statement. We are in the business, that a lot of times people have business conversations that masquerade themselves as artistic conversations.' - ETC Oct 20, 2020 & 'Chadwick...no words to express my devastation of losing you.  Your talent, your spirit, your heart, your authenticity......It was an honor working beside you, getting to know you...Rest well prince...May flights of angels sing thee to they heavenly rest.  I love you!' - Viola Davis
  • 'Heartbroken.  My friend and fellow Bison Chadwick Boseman was brilliant, kind, learned, and humble.  He left too early but his life made a difference.  Sending my sincere condolences to his family. …From his groundbreaking work in Black Panther to his portrayal of Thurgood Marshall, Chadwick Boseman helped paint a new picture of what's possible.  Keeping his family, friends, and fans in my prayers during this difficult time.' - Senator and Democratic nominee for vice president Kamala Harris
  • The true power of @ChadwickBoseman was bigger than anything we saw on screen.  From the Black Panther to Jackie Robinson, he inspired generations and showed them they can be anything they want -- even super heroes.  Jill and I are praying for his loved ones at this difficult time.' - former vice president and the Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden
  • I’ll always remember watching Chadwick in 42. Barack and I were alone in the White House, on a weekend night with the girls away. I was so profoundly moved by the rawness and emotion in the barrier-breaking story. And not long after, when he came to meet with young people in the State Dining Room, I saw that Chadwick’s brilliance on screen was matched by a warmth and sincerity in person. - Michelle Obama 
  • 'Chadwick came to the White House to work with kids when he was playing Jackie Robinson.  You could tell right away he was blessed.  To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain -- what a use of his years.' - former President Barack Obama
  •  '1 of my all time favorite people on the planet Chadwick Boseman has passed away after 4 years of fighting cancer.  A wonderful actor & a truly nice man.  R.I.P. condolences to his family' - Whoopi Goldberg
  • 'I'm absolutely devastated.  This is beyond heartbreaking.  Chadwick was special.  A true original.  He was a deeply committed and constantly curious artist.  He had so much amassing work still left to create.  I'm endlessly grateful for our friendship.  Rest in power, King 💙' - Chris Evans
  • 'May you have a beautiful return, King.  We will miss you so.' - Ava DuVernay
  • 'I just can't take anymore.  Is there supposed to be a lesson in 2020? Because if so, fail me now. #chadwickboseman' - Shonda Rhimes

  • 'thank you for the gifts you gave to us while you were here.' - Ashton Kutcher

  • 'Mr. Boseman leveled the playing field while fighting for his life...That's heroism...I'll remember the good times, the laughter, and the way he changed the game...#chadwickforever' - Robert Downey Jr.
  • 'All I have to say is the tragedies amassing this year have only been made more profound by the loss of #ChadwickBoseman.  What a man and what an immense talent.  Brother, you were one of the all time greats and your greatness was only beginning.  Lord love ya.  Rest in power, King.' - Mark Ruffalo
  • 'My brother, An angel on earth, departed this hurts. really hurts. I wish I got to say goodbye, I didn't know you were dealing with so much.'  - Letitia Wright
  • 'He was a gentle soul and a brilliant artist, WHO WILL STAY WITH US FOR ETERNITY through his iconic performances...' - Denzel Washington
  • 'He was just as warm and as humble as one could be. He embraced me like a brother even though it was like a five minute embrace. I just have a tremendous amount of respect for him and how he lived his life.' - John David Washington
  • 'I felt like a sword went through me. I couldn't move, I mean, I just buckled right over. Why him? He was such a beautiful individual, a soul through and through. And the bravery. What a beautiful and incredible soul. What a great, talented actor he was.'  - Dan Ackroyd
  • 'It's hurtful.  It's sad on so many levels, just to think that he was battling with this and no one really knew about it.  And still being an amazing person and showing up for work and pleasant.  It just makes you go like 'what are we complaining about?' And life is so precious and is so short/  And these are just reminders...'.  - Lala Anthony
  • 'Gonna miss you mate.  Absolutely heartbreaking.  One of the kindest most genuine people I've met.  Sending love and support to all the family xo RIP @chadwickboseman' - Chris Hemsworth
  • 'This was a big night for me.  I felt like I was standing with giants! @johnboyega had premiered that night in Star Wars and @chadwickboseman was announced as the Black Panther.  Look at the smile on my face.  I was sooo excited that they agreed to take a picture with me. Black Panther went on to become the movie I wished I was a kid.  I always tell people I wished Movies like that came out when I was a youth.  He walked like a KING! This hurts to say.  RIP Chadwick.  You will always be my Hero.' - Donald Faison
  • 'My prayers go out to Chadwick's family and loved ones.  The world will miss his tremendous talent.  God rest his soul. #wakandaforever' - Chris Pratt
  • 'This news is just simply unfathomable, unimaginable.  Sending love and peace to his family and loved ones.  Rest in Power.' - Mandy Moore
  • 'Breaking my twitter silence to share some beauty.  This was one of my final texts from the brilliant & onece-in-lifetime talent, @chadwickboseman - take this in & celebrate life.  He knew how precious every moment was.  Tonight the Heavens received one of its most powerful angels.  Inhale and exhale this moment.  And thank god for the unique beauties and wonders of this day. Beyond just being 'Black Panther,'  Chadwick was T'Challa in real life' - Josh Gad
  • 'He was the epitome of kindness, elegance, diligence and grace.'On many an occasion I would think how thankful I was that he was the leading man I was working closely with.' - Danai Gurira
  • 'I haven't grieved a loss this acute before.  I spent the last year preparing, imagining and writing words for him to say, that we weren't destined to see. It leaves me broken knowing that I won't be able to watch another close-up of him in the monitor again or walk up to him and ask for another take. He was an epic firework display.  I will tell stories about being there for some of the brilliant sparks till the end of my days.  What an incredible mark he's left for us.' - Ryan Coogler
  • 'Baseball is in my blood, literally...Jackie Robinson was a pioneer and made the game better, stronger and more inclusive...On this day our heart goes out to the friends and family of Chadwick Boseman who played Jackie in 42. Cancer sucks, support the @americancancersociety if you can.  We must fight this horrible disease with everything we can. #RIP #jackierobinsonday' - Tim McGraw
  • 'This is horrific. Cancer is horrific. Chadwick Boseman defied the odds of his disease and gifted us with many great characters all while suffering the darkness and pain of cancer.  Rest in Peace to this King.' - Joey King
